Speculation: Trade and Free Agency Talk - 2022-23 Edition - Postseason Success can't be a Myth!

[DeagleJenkins]

I think the Wild will re-sign Dlo with some of the new cap space. KFan this morning acted like Gaudreau is heading to Pitt to try and win a cup with Crosby even if he needs to take less money,

He says its not about money and wants to be on the east coast. NJ makes too much sense for him not to choose them. I dont think PIT can afford him even at a discounted price.

Sounds unsmart.

Sounds unsmart.

I have read that NJ at 7x10 is where he goes. Makes a ton of sense for both player and team.

And only 8 of those points were goals. Which is about 95% what you want your Phil Kessel to be doing.

I stand by the hard pass.

I'm pretty confident he's not going to shoot 4% again....

Me neither

I’m not expecting much action for the Wild today, but I hope I’m wrong

This would be a great scenario if it happened. What do think it would take trade wise

I guess a 3rd might get it done, maybe add a later pick or a prospect?

Haven't been a fan of Pulju in the past, but he has good upside still.

for Kulikov?

for Kulikov?

I'll fly to Minnesota, rent a car and drive Kulikov to Edmonton myself if this happens

I dont know that EDM would do it but who knows. I also didnt think Talbot would get traded at all and we would do something goofy to find an extra million to sign a depth forward.

Mason Marchment is who I am pulling for.

He really needs to pay someone to design a helmet for his head. What is that visor protecting, Jesse?

[thestonedkoala]

I wouldn't mind that

 

[ThatGuy22]

He's one I'm a bit surprised wasn't qualified. Most of them were worried about arbitration awards, but Ducks have like 40 million in capspace and he doesn't have the numbers to get anything major via arbitration.

Makes you wonder about work ethic or personal issues or something. Or maybe they just decided his game isn't ever going to get there.

I've heard he's a good line mate to have in the same sense that Greenway is a good line mate to have. There were some shiny charts that showed that Pulj was more effective than Foligno.

What are thoughts on 2nd+3rd for Toews at 50% retained?

What are thoughts on 2nd+3rd for Toews at 50% retained?

I don't like it for a guy that seems like a shell of himself. Feel like at best he is around what Koivu was the 19-20 season in Minnesota.

 

[Wasted Talent]

What are thoughts on 2nd+3rd for Toews at 50% retained?

Hefty price to pay for someone who was outproduced by Freddy Hockey

 

[Wabit]

What are thoughts on 2nd+3rd for Toews at 50% retained?

He looked done last season. Even with 50% retained he's a $5.25m contract. No from me.

 

[Webster]

Chara is looking for a contract, he's only 45. I'm sure Guerin will sign him, he likes old guys
